I once played FlightSim for 12 hours...
But, I set the A/P and used the lav.

OK, it was more like an hour of "flying the plane" 
In all seriousness, that cockpit is quite small for a 13-hour test run! I always thought of the brand as a "cropduster" type, but it's actually the modern-day answer to the Piper Cub. A
brief description.
Great find. No offense to the airline industry, but I'd love to have a plane that cruises modestly and has a decent range. Oh the time and frustration that would be saved...
This one will go over 600 statute miles at 75% power, or 140 MPH. Geez that would cut the time. At 55% power, that's 132 MPH and a lot of extra fuel saved.
